Understanding Myself

While listening to this I felt the same as when I first opened the Big Red Book…how does this person know me so well?!!
I am so grateful for people who understand us ACAs and can explain to us why we do what we do, when so often we feel lost or “crazy”. The section for the partner of an ACA helped me so much, because it gives me words to tell my partner what I need when I can’t verbalize it myself (Im the ACA).

Another good one

Just like her prior book Adult Children of Alcoholics, this is an insightful book, although, once again, it lacks solutions to the problems.

helped me with learning more about me.

loved it 25 years ago, & more today, it's again helping figure out more details of who I am.
everyone should read it, learn about people.

wish I would have found this year's ago.

The book perfectly put words to every major relationship issue I've had and gave reasons

ACOA Relationship Savior

As an ACOA whose had many failed relationships I found this book very insightful and helpful. This book explained complex feelings in a simple easy to understand format. This book is great for ACOA as well as their partners.
